摘要： An adjustable width chain conveyor is disclosed. The conveyor includes angled supports (20) having inclined slide portions (24) on which the chain (40) can slide inwardly or outwardly to accommodate variations in the effective width of products P or to compensate for misalignment of conveyor components as the conveyor wears, beyond the tolerance permitted by the product support surface area. A cover (30) is provided to prevent the chain (40) from tipping off of the conveyor.

摘要： A component supply tape (2) is stepped to present each pocket (10) at a component pick-up area, and a top cover of the tape (2) is peeled back so that each pocket (10) is opened in turn. A shutter (66) is positioned over the pick-up area prior to tape movement so that the pocket (10) is covered by the shutter (66) as the top cover (6) is peeled from the substrate. After each indexing step, the shutter (66) is actuated to uncover the opened pocket (10) which is situated at the pick-up area for retrieval by the vacuum nozzle (30) of a pick-and-place head. By the improved method and apparatus of the instant invention, the pick-and-­place head is provided with a finger for opening the shutter (66) of the feeder while the vacuum nozzle (30) is advanced along a normal to the pick-up surface of the component (20), so as to minimize the period of time that the component (20) is uncovered.

摘要： The field of the invention concerns handling electrical components (10-12,10'-12') of the type having a body (10,10') and multiple rows of leads (12, 12') protruding out through one surface. The purpose of the invention is of straightening the leads of the components sufficiently for insertion into corresponding holes of a circuit board, as well as for testing the electrical functioning or physical integrity of the electrical component. According to the invention, such an handling method consists of steps for each component of straightening each lead (12, 12') of said component which is bent from said axis (130) along at least a portion of a length thereof; and testing (30, 31) electrical functioning of said component (10-12, 10'-12') during said straightening. A peculiar use of the invention can befound in the handling of "square modules".

摘要： This invention concerns a method and an apparatus for mounting components on circuit boards by means of tool sections movable toward and away from opposite sides of a mid-plane, said components comprising a body and leads extending in opposite directions, said circuit boards having holes with different center-to-center spacings for mounting of different components, and said tooling sections comprising lead formers and means for driving a formed lead into a corresponding hold. According to the invention, each of said driving means are spaced by spacing means from an adjacent outside former (149) and inwardly toward said mid-plane when mounting components via holes having spacings greater than the smallest hole spacing, so as to avoid a lead misinsertion by forcing a formed lead from driving engagement with a blade (145) of said driving means during an operation of clinching inserted leads to an underside of said circuit board.

摘要： The present invention involves a method and apparatus for feeding axial lead components (7) to an insertion head (80), while eliminating direct supplying of components to the insert head via a predictated inventory such as reeled tapes or films having components attached thereto in a predetermined sequence.
An endless chain conveyor (20) carries the components to the insert head. The conveyor is reversible a sufficient distance by a belt shift arrangement (58, 62, 64) so as to clear components from the head at an insert station (N) enabling replace ment of a missing or faulty component. Arms (116) provide means for recentering the replaced component.

摘要： A variable reluctance linear motor has a stator and an armature mounted so as to be movable along the length of the stator. Armature bearings are mounted to the armature via mechanical vibration dampers and contact the stator so that vibrations in the stator are transmitted to the bearings and dissipated in said vibration dampers. A sensor is mounted to the armature for obtaining position data for the armature with respect to the stator. A controller then calculates the phase currents for the motor phases based on the position data and a desired force value. The phase currents are calculated to maintain a minimum normal force between the armature and said stator, thereby further reducing vibrations. A conditional filter is applied when armature is within a predetermined distance from a desired location. The conditional filter, after a time delay, clamps the velocity feedback to a predetermined range and simultaneously reduces the velocity loop gain.
